What happened
The Tenant requested a review of an order dated April 4, 2025, which terminated the tenancy and ordered eviction for non-payment of rent. The Tenant argued she was unable to participate reasonably due to PTSD and lack of legal representation after a legal clinic withdrew. The Tenant also contested the Member's finding that she had failed to prove alleged cash payments for the period of August to December 2024, arguing the burden of proof should remain on the Landlord.
The ruling
The Tenant's request for review of the order issued on April 4, 2025, is denied. The Board found no serious error in the original proceedings and determined the Tenant was reasonably able to participate. The original order, which likely included eviction and a requirement to pay rent arrears, remains in full force and effect.
